Week 39: Stick with what you've got Instead of buying something you don’t really need, stick with what you’ve got. Value what you have. Your laptop you've got may not fit into an envelope – but it won't be accidently posted either.
Then they invite you to do the following: • Stick with what some body else has got. Borrow rather than buy. And encourage others to borrow from you. • Stick with a non-thing. Do something rather than buy something. It’s a lot more fun. • Stick with a look. True style never goes out of fashion. Be proud of what you wear. You may become a leader of fashion. • Stick with where you’re at. There’s no place like home. So enjoy yours instead of rushing abroad using the latest cut-fare air tickets.

Here's another way to help this summer. Set up an Etra Row program in your community. In the extra row program, you encourage members of your community to add just one extra row of planting to their summer vegetable gardens; and to donate their excess frsh produce yielded by this row to your town's food bank. set up a collection day/area (at local supermarket, farmer's market, etc) with whoever is in charge of your town's food bank. Spread the message to get fresh produce to the people in need in your community.
